Here's the relevant section from the NFBTrans readme:


     Unzip nfbtrans into an empty directory.  From the unix shell type
mv MAKEFILE Makefile
Then enter
make lowercase

     This is necessary because the program files were zipped in MSDOS and the
file names are in upper case when unzipped in unix.  Files specifically for
the MSDOS version are also removed at this time.

     Compile nfbtrans by entering make target where target is ultrix, linux,
sunos, djgpp, or aix.  You will have to add the target for your machine to
makefile if it is not one of these. The termcap entry in
the LIB= statement may need to be removed in linux.  When the compile is
successful, copy nfbtrans to usually /usr/local/bin and set permissions
usually chmod 755 nfbtrans.  Copy nfbtrans.cnf, back.tab, english.dic, spell.dat
and braille.tab to /usr/local/lib.  Edit nfbtrans.cnf and change options if
necessary.

You may have to change permissions on the files you've copied into
/usr/local/lib. I recall having some sort of problem the first time I
set up NFBTrans, but I can't remember the nature of them. Anyway, it
works great under Linux.
